UNSPSC 50202312: Infusions

Non alcoholic beverages such as herbal, plant-based infusions

UNSPSC 50202312 Infusions is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are procuring prepared beverages — primarily electrolyte drink mixes, sports drinks, juices, and other ready-to-consume or single-serve beverage products — for delivery to schools, county departments, state agencies, and institutional food-service operations. The issuing bodies span school districts, state education departments, state health and human services agencies, county governments, and city purchasing offices. Work includes specification of approved beverage categories (often with brand or product constraints), pricing on a per-unit or per-case basis, firm delivery schedules, and compliance with federal nutrition standards such as Smart Snacks in School requirements where applicable. Vendors must typically maintain proof of insurance, verify employment eligibility through E-Verify, and meet state-specific procurement regulations including potential set-asides for small or minority-owned enterprises.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Florida. The Georgia Department of Education issued RFP 9060_1005_211 (due November 2, 2026) for Smart Snack approved beverages including carbonated drinks, water products, juices, and sports drinks statewide; the City of Tampa, Florida issued RFQ 26-P-00314 (due June 5, 2026) for SHOTZ brand sugar-free electrolyte drink mix with a Small Local Business Enterprise set-aside; and the Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia posted IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) for school nutrition grocery supplies including beverages and fruit slushies across three school locations. Texas state procurement activity appears in the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables solicitation and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products bid, though beverage procurement represents a subset of broader food-service supply contracts. Geographic spread extends across the Southeast and Texas, with school nutrition programs and state institutional facilities representing the primary customer base.
